However, speaking to NME backstage at End Of The Road Festival ahead of his headline set this weekend, Tillman told us that he was baffled by the outburst.

“God only knows where that came from,” Tillman told NME. “I don’t know where that came from. I really don’t. He used to text me a lot. I hope he’s OK.”

In his apology, Adams said: “I’m human & I have bad days. It happens. I apologise. I took a deep breath & remembered I can always do better.

“As a human I am never going to be done working towards being more compassionate, peaceful and open. So I leave this here as a reminder. I am very tired but it’s no excuse to be cruel to others, even if they have shown me that same meanness. It is better to love.”
